Every New NBA Uniform, Logo, Court Design And Jersey Patch For The 2025-26 Season – SportsLogos.Net News

Every New NBA Uniform, Logo, Court Design And Jersey Patch For The 2025-26 Season

The 2025-26 NBA season kicks off on Tuesday evening with a doubleheader on NBC, as the defending champion Oklahoma City Thunder host the Houston Rockets before the Golden State Warriors travel to Los Angeles to take on the Lakers. 

With that, we’ve compiled a comprehensive list of every uniform and logo change that has taken place across the association this year, as well as every new court design and jersey patch partnership, and broken it down on a team-by-team basis within each conference and division below.

Before we get into that, though, there are a few league-wide changes we have to discuss, including the addition of an NBA debut patch for all rookies and a gold Logoman for award winners as part of the league’s new exclusive licensing deal with Topps trading cards.

Similar to MLB and MLS, the “Debut Patch” will be sewn onto the right shoulder of the player’s jersey for their first regular season game. It will be removed, authenticated and placed in a 1-of-autographed trading card, which will then be randomly placed in a sealed pack for 2026.

The league will also follow MLB and the NFL’s lead by having award winners wear a gold Logoman patch on the back of their jerseys and right leg of their shorts. They will be periodically removed throughout the season and placed into trading cards, as well. 

Players who will wear the gold Logoman on their uniforms this season include Oklahoma City guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (MVP), San Antonio Spurs guard Stephon Castle (Rookie of the Year) and Cleveland Cavaliers forward Evan Mobley (Defensive Player of the Year.

Additionally, the three players listed above, as well as New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson (Clutch Player of the Year), Golden State Warriors guard Steph Curry (Teammate of the Year), Boston Celtics guard Payton Pritchard (Sixth Man of the Year) and Jrue Holiday (Sportsmanship Award) will wear a patch on their jersey in the season opener that features a depiction of their respective trophies. 

The same goes for members of the All-NBA, All-Rookie and All-Defensive teams, with a total of 35 players being honored this week. Their uniforms will then be auctioned off by Sotheby’s, while Cavaliers head coach Kenny Atkinson (Coach of the Year) and Thunder vice president and general manager Sam Presti (Executive of the Year) will wear lapels to acknowledge their accomplishments. 

Meanwhile, the NBA’s annual All-Star Game will take place at Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California, home of the Los Angeles Clippers, on Feb. 15, 2026. It’ll be a record seventh time the Los Angeles area has hosted the event, joining the 1963, 1972, 1983, 2004, 2011 and 2018 games.

The league initially unveiled the logo for the game in January 2024, but after the Clippers updated their logo, uniforms and color palette last summer, the NBA also made some changes to its design to match their new look and add a subtle nod to Intuit Dome’s glass exterior.

Finally, the third iteration of the Emirates NBA Cup will start on Halloween night and culminate with the championship game at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on Dec. 16, though the semifinals will now be played at home sites after previously being held in Sin City.

The mid-season tournament, which consists of pool play and the knockout rounds, will feature home teams in their Statement Edition uniforms, while the road teams will don their Association sets. The inaugural tournament notably saw teams wear their City Edition designs.

So, now that we’ve set the stage, let’s dive headfirst into our team-by-team breakdown for the 2025-26 NBA season.


Eastern Conference 

Atlantic Division

Boston Celtics

The Celtics’ unveiled new City Edition uniforms that are a nod to their “timeless tradition of winning” and recolor their 2017-18 design that paid homage to their 2007-08 championship team. They are white with gold accents, marking the first uniforms in team history that don’t include a shade of green. 


Brooklyn Nets

The Nets have reintroduced their 2018-19 City Edition uniforms, which honored hip-hop icon The Notorious B.I.G., for the upcoming season. The black uniforms feature a a multicolored “Brooklyn Camo” pattern on the trim, side panels and logo that was inspired by the Coogi sweaters worn by the late Brooklyn native.

The only difference between the original uniforms and this year’s set is the All In Won patch on the left shoulder, as the Nets agreed to a multi-year advertising partnership with New York-based medical billing company this summer after being sponsored by Infor from 2017-20. They were also sponsored by Motorola in 2020-21, Webull from 2021-24 and GetYourGuide last season.


New York Knicks

The Knicks revealed new black Statement Edition uniforms that are inspired by Madison Square Garden with an orange-to-royal blue gradient pattern down the sides that mimics the lights on the outside of “The World’s Most Famous Arena” against the night sky.

New York’s unreleased City Edition uniforms, meanwhile, are effectively the home version of their 2021-22 design, which also paid homage to the “Mecca,” with royal blue checkered side panels that contain a visual representation of the arena, orange piping and a royal blue waistband with the franchise’s retired numbers.


Philadelphia 76ers

The 76ers will honor the 25th anniversary of their Eastern Conference championship and run to the 2000-01 NBA Finals by wearing Allen Iverson-era Hardwood Classic uniforms this season. The black uniforms feature the iconic “Sixers” shooting star wordmark across the chest, red and gold trim and their 1997-2009 secondary logo on the shorts.

Philadelphia will also have a matching court design, though it’s missing the royal blue lanes that matched the blue alternate uniforms they debuted in 2000-01, as well as the shooting star-style ball logos that entered the court on opposing sidelines.

The 76ers have not yet revealed their new City Edition uniforms, either, though a leak of the shorts show they’ll be a navy blue version of the parchment-colored design they wore in 2019-20 that was inspired by the Declaration of Independence and the Liberty Bell.


Toronto Raptors

After the NBA posted a collage to social media this summer teasing City Edition “Remix” uniforms, we were able to decipher that the Raptors will recolor their 2019-20, 2020-21 or 2021-22 design, as all three uniforms featured the same retro-inspired wordmark font. 


Central Division

Chicago Bulls

The Bulls unveiled new Statement Edition uniforms that are heavily inspired by their 1996-97 red pinstripe design. The black uniforms aren’t an exact replica of what the franchise wore during those seasons, as they feature a “Chicago” wordmark across the chest, as well as red and black trim, rather than “Bulls” with red, black and white piping.

This marks one of two new uniforms for the Bulls this season, as they also revealed a new black City Edition design that recolors their 2017-18 set, which mimicked the city flag with a script “Chicago” wordmark, light blue and red accents and four stars down the sides. 


Cleveland Cavaliers

The Cavaliers will celebrate their 55th anniversary this season by wearing Hardwood Classic uniforms that replicate their 2005-10 navy blue alternate design. The uniforms feature wine, gold and navy blue striping pattern on the trim and down the sides of the jersey and shorts and originally paid tribute to the “Miracle of Richfield” design the Cavaliers wore from 1974-80.

Cleveland also revealed a matching court design, which was heavily inspired by their 2006-10 design with a two-tone hardwood finish. But rather than place their slanted “Cavaliers” wordmark at center court, it displays their 2003-10 primary logo, replicating their 2003-05 and 2005-06 designs.

The Hardwood Classic uniforms will be joined this season by a new City Edition set, which will recolor the Cavaliers’ 2022-23 design that was inspired by the Cleveland Metroparks. The uniforms haven’t been officially released, but they were shown to have an orange base during a recent event for season ticket holders.


Detroit Pistons

The Pistons were actually the first team to reveal their new City Edition uniforms through a partnership with SLAM Magazine back in April. The black uniforms recolor their 2021-22 design, which featured lightning bolts down the sides of the jerseys and shorts, into their 1990s teal and maroon color scheme.


Indiana Pacers

The Pacers’ new City Edition uniforms have not been revealed, though a leak of the shorts shows they’ll wear the white home version of their 2021-22 design, which combined their 1987-90 wordmark with their 1990-97 “Flo-Jo” uniforms.

The defending Eastern Conference champions have also entered into a new jersey patch partnership with Lucas Oil, an Indianapolis-based manufacturer of automotive products that also owns the naming rights of the Indianapolis Colts’ NFL stadium. It replaces SpokeNote, which advertised with the Pacers from 2023-25.


Milwaukee Bucks

The Bucks have revived their fan-favorite “Cream City” City Edition uniforms, which debuted in 2019-20, as this year’s City design. The cream-colored uniforms pay homage to the clay bricks that were commonly used to build structures in Milwaukee in the mid-to-late 19th century and ultimately inspired the city’s nickname.

The Bucks also revealed they’ll play on a complementary court design this season after using their standard hardwood for their City Edition games in 2019-20. It features a stacked “Cream City” wordmark at midcourt above the sublimated coordinates of Fiserv Forum and a sublimated map of Milwaukee’s streets inside the three-point arc.


Southeast Division

Atlanta Hawks

The Hawks announced the return of their “Peachtree” City Edition uniforms, which were originally worn in 2019-20, as this year’s City Edition design. The black uniforms feature a “Peachtree” wordmark across the chest as a nod to the iconic street that connects the neighborhoods of Atlanta and peach accents inspired by Georgia’s nickname of “The Peach State.”

This year’s design isn’t exactly the same as the original, though, as it features a peach with basketball seams on the waistband instead of an “ATL” wordmark, as well as an advertisement for Paze, an online checkout solution, on the shoulder rather than Atlanta-based digital healthcare company Sharecore.


Charlotte Hornets

Based on the aforementioned collage, the Hornets will recolor their 2021-22 City Edition uniforms, which blended elements from their 1988-97 and 1997-2002 uniforms – such as pinstripes – with the honeycomb pattern that appeared inside the lanes of Charlotte Coliseum’s 1995-97 court design.

Charlotte also recently entered into a new multi-year jersey patch partnership with Judi Health, one of the fastest-growing health technology companies in the United States, after going without a sponsor last season.


Miami Heat

After bringing back their original white “Vice” uniforms midway through last season, the Heat will revive their black “Vice Nights” version from the 2018-19 season as this year’s City Edition design. The white version temporarily replaced their Association Edition uniforms and aren’t expected to return this year, however.

That said, Miami recently filed an application to trademark a new “Heat” wordmark inspired by the neon signage at the old Miami Arena, which served as the basis for their “Vice” uniforms, including “Sunset Vice” (pink) in 2018-19, “ViceWave” (blue) in 2019-20 and “ViceVersa” (gradient) in 2020-21.

It’s unclear if the application is a precursor to a looming rebrand for the franchise, a new run of Vice-themed uniforms that swap the wordmarks or if the Heat and NBA are simply preventing other companies from encroaching on their intellectual property with the sale of unlicensed merchandise.


Orlando Magic

The Magic unveiled new throwback-inspired uniforms and logos, as well as a matching court design and wordmarks, this summer. It marks the first significant update to their primary look since the 2008-09 season and brings to mind Orlando’s original 1989-98 design, with classic pinstripes and trim on the white Association and blue Icon Edition sets.

Both feature new-but-familiar wordmarks that incorporate a silver star into the “A” in “Orlando” and “Magic” across the chest, as well as a matching italicized number font. The new black Statement uniform, meanwhile, is inspired by their original warmup jackets, with blue shoulder yoke, a slanted wordmark contained within two silver stripes across the chest and pinstripes extending the rest of the way down.

Orlando’s new primary logo, which is a blue ball with a trail of stars, is displayed on the side of the Statement shorts, while it appears on the waistband of the Association and Icon uniforms. The logo also appears at midcourt of the Magic’s new square-paneled parquet floor, which includes an updated shade of blue in the lanes and out-of-bounds area.


Washington Wizards

The Wizards unveiled new gold and black City Edition uniforms, which recolor their 2021-22 design that was heavily inspired by their time as the Baltimore, Capital and Washington Bullets (1963-97) with horizontal stripes across the front of the jersey.

The uniforms also display Washington’s current wordmark and 1997-2011 number font as a nod to the slate blue uniforms worn during the Michael Jordan and Gilbert Arenas era. The shorts, meanwhile, include the Wizards’ current “DC” hands logo on one size and a 1997-2011-inspired “DMV” logo on the other.

The “DMV” logo is prominently displayed at the center of the matching court design, which features wood-colored lanes with black inside of the three-point line and gold inside of the free-throw circle. There are also gold blocks with stars on the baselines, mimicking the stripes on the jerseys.


Western Conference 

Northwest Division

Denver Nuggets

The Nuggets announced they’re bringing back their 2019-20 black “Rainbow Skyline” City Edition uniforms, though this year’s version features a “Denver” wordmark beneath the skyline rather than “Nuggets,” matching the red version they wore in 2020-21.

These details are inspired by Denver’s 1981-93 uniforms, though they’re rendered in the Nuggets’ current number and wordmark font. They were actually among the first franchises to recolor a City Edition design, as they wore a white version in 2018-19, as well.


Minnesota Timberwolves

The Timberwolves will honor the most successful era in franchise history by wearing their “Black Trees” Hardwood Classic uniforms in select games this season. The black uniforms, which were originally worn as an alternate uniform from 1997-2008, feature a custom font and a repeating tree pattern on trim and waistband.

In addition to the uniforms, Minnesota also revealed its Classic Edition court, which is almost an exact replica of the parquet hardwood floor the franchise played on during the Kevin Garnett era with the Timberwolves’ 1996-2008 primary logo at midcourt, multi-color lanes and the tree pattern in the black out-of bounds area.

Additionally, Minnesota announced this week the return of its 2018-19 purple City Edition design, which was inspired by Prince and his iconic “Purple Rain” album, for the upcoming season. This time, though, they come with a matching court design that features a sublimated version of Prince’s iconic Love Symbol behind the “Wolves” wordmark at midcourt.


Oklahoma City Thunder

The defending NBA champions will likely wear a patch on the back of their jerseys for tonight’s game that mimics the patch worn during the 2025 Finals, with “2025-26 Champions” written on top of the ball from the Larry O’Brien Trophy and the Logoman.

This patch, which debuted last season with the Boston Celtics, sits beneath a new gold tab on the back of the Thunder’s jersey that signifies their first NBA title. The franchise actually won a championship in 1978-79 as the Seattle SuperSonics but does not acknowledge their history prior to relocating in 2008.

Oklahoma City also recently unveiled a navy blue version of its 2018-19 City Edition set, which incorporated various elements of Oklahoma’s Native American heritage into the turquoise base. That includes the geometrical “OKC” wordmark and the indigenous patterns across the chest, in the side panels and on the waistband of the shorts.


Portland Trail Blazers

The Trail Blazers revealed several subtle updates to their Association and Icon Edition uniforms this offseason, most notably removing silver from their iconic sash to create a more streamlined design. They also removed the silver and red trim around the collar and arm holes.

The updated uniforms will be joined in Portland’s wardrobe by the red Statement Edition set that was introduced in 2022-23, as well as a new City Edition design, which will recolor or revive their 2022-23 design that paid homage to the Portland International Airport’s carpet pattern.

The Blazers are also the only team in the league without a jersey patch partnership, as their deal with Brightside Windows came to an end after just one season.


Utah Jazz

Following a two-year transition away from their ill-advised highlighter yellow era, the Jazz have officially adopted new white Association and purple Icon Edition uniforms that were actually revealed in June 2024 and feature modernized gradient mountains across the chest and on the right leg of the asymmetrical shorts, as well as light blue and black accents.

Utah also updated its logos to reflect its new color scheme, which blends the purple from its 1996-2004 design with its light blue era from 2004-10. The Jazz will keep their black Statement uniforms, meanwhile, as they were introduced midway through last season and prominently display their “Jazz Note” logo with mountains in the background and purple and light blue accents.

Additionally, the Jazz will revive their 2020-22 City Edition uniforms, which were a “Dark Mode” version of the Red Rock-themed gradient uniforms they wore from 2017-20. They’ll also wear a black memorial band on their jerseys this season in honor of late head coach and executive Frank Layden, who passed away in July at the age of 93.


Pacific Division

Golden State Warriors

The Warriors unveiled new City Edition uniforms this week that recolor their 2019-20 design, which paid tribute to the city of Oakland with a stylized oak tree logo on the chest the Bay Bridge’s suspension cables on the shorts, though they now feature earthy tones with brown and gold accents on a cream-colored base. 


Los Angeles Clippers

Although they haven’t officially been released, the Clippers will recolor their 2018-19 City Edition design, which was inspired by the 1984 USA men’s basketball team. But rather than use their current navy blue, red and white color scheme, the franchise will honor its beginnings as the Buffalo Braves (1970-78) with an orange base, as well as black and light blue accents.

Los Angeles also entered into a new jersey patch partnership this offseason with Visit Rwanda, the official tourism brand of the African country, which also has deals with the Los Angeles Rams, Arsenal, Paris Saint-Germain and Atlético Madrid. The Clippers did not have a jersey sponsor the last two seasons after its deal with Honey expired after the 2022-23 campaign.


Los Angeles Lakers

The Lakers revealed new purple Statement Edition uniforms this offseason, removing black accents that were introduced in 2018-19 and simplifying their otherwise iconic design with thin gold and white stripes and an iridescent “Los Angeles Lakers” wordmark down the sides of the jerseys and shorts.

Los Angeles did not make any changes to its white Association or gold Icon Edition uniforms, meanwhile, but will revive its 2023-24 black City Edition design, which featured a triangle-shaped wordmark that was used by the franchise after it relocated from Minneapolis in the 1960s


Phoenix Suns

The Phoenix Suns recently unveiled new black Statement Edition uniforms that blend their white Association and purple Icon Edition designs with a reimagined version of the gradient pattern that was used in their 2020-22 “The Valley” City Edition uniforms, which are also set to return this season

The uniforms prominently display a white “Phoenix” wordmark across the chest, purple and orange trim that turns into a truncated gradient pattern as it runs down the sides of the jersey and the Suns’ iconic sunburst logo on the shorts, which shifts from purple on the right leg to orange on the left.


Sacramento Kings

The Kings revealed new City Edition uniforms that recolor their 2022-23 design that was inspired by the architectural elements of the Golden 1 Center. But rather than focus on the building itself, this season’s uniform shines a light on the beam that is illuminated following every Kings victory with a deep purple base and bright violet accents, which have never been used in franchise history.

After one-season with Reviver, Sacramento also entered into a new jersey patch partnership with Phoong Law, an Asian-American and Pacific Islander woman-owned injury law firm. With that, a portion of all jersey sales will benefit local organizations that support single moms, as well as women and children impacted by domestic violence, sexual assault and human trafficking.


Southwest Division

Dallas Mavericks

The Mavericks will celebrate their 45th anniversary by wearing Kelly green Hardwood Classic uniforms this season that replicate their 1981-91 road design. They feature a stylized “Dallas” wordmark across the chest and a matching number font, as well as traditional royal blue and white trim and the Mavericks’ 1980-2001 logo on the left leg of the shorts.

Dallas will use a corresponding court that prominently displays the vintage logo at midcourt, royal blue lanes, a Kelly green out-of-bounds area and the 45th anniversary logo inside one of the three-point arcs, with a silhouette of all-time franchise great Dirk Nowitzki on the other end, as he has been immortalized on the Mavericks’ courts since 2019-20.

Additionally, Dallas will soon reveal a black, blue and silver version of its 2020-21 City Edition design, which were white and featured gold accents as a nod to their 2010-11 NBA Championship, as well as a silver wing-like design down the sides for the Pegasus, one of the most iconic and recognizable symbols in the city.


Houston Rockets

The Rockets recently announced they’re reviving their 2023-24 City Edition uniforms, which honored the “Phi Slama Jama” duo of Hakeem Olajuwan and Clyde Drexler and Houston’s status as “Space City” with an “H-Town” wordmark across the chest and a dunking astronaut – or “Dunkstronaut” – on the left leg of the shorts.


Memphis Grizzlies

The Grizzlies will celebrate their 25th season in Memphis this year by wearing Hardwood Classic uniforms that replicate what they wore on the road from 2001-03 following their relocation from Vancouver. The black uniforms feature a “Memphis” wordmark, classic trim with the their ball-in-claw logo on the collar and a turquoise and red stripping pattern down the sides.

There’s also an asymmetrical turquoise and red striping pattern down the left side and around the bottom of the shorts, their secondary “G-Swipe” logo on the right leg and their paw print mark on the turquoise and red waistband. The Grizzlies will also recolor or revive their 2018-19, 2020-21 or 2021-22 City Edition design for this season, as all three uniforms used the same number font.


New Orleans Pelicans

Although it hasn’t been announced, the Pelicans will revive their black voodoo-inspired 2023-24 City Edition uniforms, which included neon green and purple accents as a nod to the “dark streets and glowing lights” of New Orleans, as well as a “NOLA” wordmark and skeletonized version of their primary logo on the shorts. 


San Antonio Spurs

The Spurs revealed new gray Statement Edition uniforms that follow the same template as their white Association and black Icon Edition designs, with classic trim and contrasting side panels, which have a subtle rowel pattern. They prominently feature a “San Antonio” wordmark across the chest, becoming the first “core” uniform to display the city name since the 1988-89 season.

That, of course, doesn’t include any City or Hardwood Classic designs the Spurs have worn in recent seasons, though it’s worth noting their previous Statement set had “SATX” on the front of the black uniform. Meanwhile, San Antonio will recolor or revive its 2020-21 City Edition uniforms, which were influenced by the franchise’s Fiesta-themed warmup gear from the 1990s.

Lastly, the Spurs agreed to a multi-year deal with Ledger, a Paris-based digital security company that protects more than 20 percent of the world’s cryptocurrency, to be their new jersey patch partner. The partnership strengthens their ties to France, where they’ve gained an enormous following this century after drafting former guard Tony Parker in 2001 and current center Victor Wembanyama in 2023.
